1993 jeep grand cherokee laredo 4.0L

i live in chicago and it drove fine. i played in the snow with it a few times and nothing went wrong.
one day it got extremely cold, i replaced the battery just last year so it still has power.
car cranks but dont turn over. i have full power. whats wrong?????

bad battery.

how? i have full power

Apparently not enough to crank it.

Take the battery out of it, and go get it tested. It probably needs a quick charge..

so i could have enough juice for it to crank and not turn over??? cuz it sounds just as powerful as ever...

Well, the fact of the matter is.. You ALWAYS start cheapest, its free to diagnose a battery, you take it in and they test it... If its bad, you replace it, if its good than its another issue... Sure, it could be a lot of shit, like a blown cylinder or a EFI issue, but always start cheapest.. Its chicago, so its cold, its VERY cold that day, and now your car doesn't start. Just use common sense to decipher whats going on.

k ill just try to jump it then drive to autozone

^-^, let us know.. If you can't, than invest 20 bucks on a cheap compression tester and do a test on each cylinder.. That would be the next cheapest thing.

k gotta walk to walmart like an alcoholic or a crackhead so i can buy a jump box then return it...

i have my work truck and the space next to it was open. i let the cables sit and cranked it. same result. since its warm outside i got to crawling around underneath and stuff and smelled what i could and notices some fresh juice that might not be melted snow. seems i have a new oil leak. if you throw out the who very cold weather thing, do these sound like the symptoms of a car with no oil in it?

/e

also heard that the head gaskets and trannys on the 4.0L are the first thing to go...
